God’s wrath against sin does not mean … that he is likely to fly off the handle at the most trivial provocation, still less that he loses his temper for no apparent reason at all. For there is nothing capricious or arbitrary about the holy God. Nor is he ever irascible,malicious, spiteful or vindictive. His anger is neither mysterious nor irrational. It is never unpredictable but always predictable, because it is provoked by evil and by evil alone.
–John R W Stott, The Cross of Christ (Downer’s Grove, InterVarsity Press, 2006), p.173
Okay, quick thought on atonement: I have honestly never found the critique of Penal Substitution from its alleged inability to foster a life of discipleship to be moderately compelling. Easiest argument against it is John Stott's volume, "The Cross of Christ." pic.twitter.com/huHoJ0mtpX
